Country Lay On My Mind — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

I stepped out of the rain into a downtown city cafe
And I saw him at the counter looking lonesome at the rain
I sat down beside him and I ordered us some coffee
He smiled and said

Hello city country is my name and I`m here to play your city game

I saw there in his eyes such a pure and simple beauty
That could not have been bred upon these dark and dingy streets
I liked the look he gave me and I asked him if he`d stay
And he said

Maybe for a while till I get back on my feet and I sure could use a place to sleep

Lay lay country lay on my mind home is where the lovin` heart is beating free
Lay lay country lay on my mind
For deep inside these city lies a whole lot of country in me
A whole lot of country in me

The days we spent laughin` and just walkin` in the park
And the nights we spent in each other`s arms
But time brought a change that brought him tossed and tumbled sleep
And I heard him mumble somethin` about a baby and a farm

I`ve gotta go make sure they`re safe and warm

I woke up this morning and I opened up my eyes
Just in time to see him walkin` out the door
But I had dreams and feelings that would always keep me happy
Even though I knew I wouldn`t see him anymore so I just let him close the door
Lay lay country lay on my mind...

Lay lay country lay on my mind...
